Draft of Who to See at Coachella 2014

Draft of Who to See at Coachella 2014

March 9, 2014

This is the first year that I will be attending the Coachella Valley Music Festival in Indio, Calif. I will be doing so as a writer for GrimyGoods.com, an LA-based music blog that I've contributed concert and album reviews to since October. This is basically a dream come true for me as music festivals are my number two favorite thing in the world behind boxing, which is what I cover for a living.


I've drafted up a list of who I wish to see before I jump hardcore into my research of the festival. I want to see how different my lists change from now until the second weekend of the festival, which I will attend. If there is a star next to their name, I've seen them previously. This list also discounts the fact that I don't know the set times and therefore don't know where there will be clashes. That will change things drastically.
